No worries.
These wheels (15x7)  were the standard wheels for 1990-1991 Coupe Quattro 
and 90 20-valve. The standard tyre for the Coupe on these wheels is
205/60VR15, for the 90 I thought it was the same but it may have
been 205/50VR15. Note that many New England dealers only provided 15x6.5
wheels on the 90 20-valve with 195/65HR15 "all-weather" tyres, so I
guess GCIRILLO lucked out in being in a different neck of the woods and
getting the good wheels!
